Greenback- Labor Ticket at Terre Haute.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal
TERRE HAUTE, April 1.-The Greenback-
Labor party has nominated candidates for the
city Offices as follows: Mayor W. NJ. Slaughter;
treasurer, Otto BurGet; clerk, E. B. Fletcher;
marshal, George Elder; assessor, j. D. Wilson.
Slaughter has withdrawn. He was elected
justice of the peace last spring on the Democrat
ic ticket, and his withdrawal is owing to pressure
brought to bear on him by Democrats, who
thought his presence on the ticket of the third
party would defeat the regular ticket. All of
The other candidates, except Fletcher, are Demo
sr;.:s, and that party is greatly exercised now
to how the diversion of the labor element can be
prevented. The purpose of the third party man
ayers was to compel the Democrats to indarse
part, at least, of the ticket and they do not feel
at ali kindly toward the Democratic leaders who
have caused Slaughter to withdraw.
